“Chad took great care of both our dogs. We have an energetic one year old and a laid back six year old..and he was able to keep them both occupied and entertained. He also sent over a bunch of photos daily. Thanks Chad!!!”
“Lauren takes great care of our pets and our home. We have two dogs and two cats and it is a huge relief to feel comfortable leaving them with someone in their own home vs boarding at a vet or kennel. Lauren is very responsive and sends us photos of the crew so we know they are safe and happy while we are gone.”
“Morgan was so sweet and patient with our pup, who typically experiences some anxiousness. She had the magic touch to make her comfortable. Morgan communicated updates and shared photos, and made sure our girl was safe and happy. We will definitely work with her again!”
“Noah did a wonderful job watching our pups while we were away! He was especially attentive and caring with our elderly dog, including administering medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely have Noah watch them again and highly recommend him!”
“We were on vacation for a week and Erica was wonderful as always with our German shepherd. She truly cares about the family, home & pet she is caring for and we appreciate all that she does to help us! She’s always our first pick & we highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Mallory was amazing and when she gets back from vacation, I will contact her again. She showed up on time and was professional and friendly. My dog loved her and was very calm when I returned home. I highly recommend her.”
“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”
“This is the first time Janasha watched the dogs! She always stayed in communication and gave updates at least three times a day without even asking for them. We came home and the pups seemed to be in the best mood and while taking care of! Thankful for her care and accountability! The pics of the girls throughout the weekend was a plus :)”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“Jamie is just the best. She took great care of our Basset Hound Charlie while we were out of town for the holidays. He keeps asking when she's going to come back and hang out again ?”
“Zoey did a great job taking care of my Labrador’ retriever while we were out of town. He usually is stresses when we are gone but Zoey made him feel like his family never left.”
“Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️”
“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
“Kati took such wonderful care of my dog, Benji! From the start, I felt completely at ease, and it was clear that Benji did too. One of the things I appreciated most was Kati’s communication. She sent regular checkins along with the most adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the photos that Benji was relaxed, having fun, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Kati provided and would absolutely trust her with Benji again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Christina was amazing with my very difficult dog. She was so patient and he has decided to love her. Christina's communication was great and I felt very confident leaving my babies with her. We will definitely be rebooking.”

Kristen was reliable and incredibly caring towards our beloved lab. She walked him multiple times a day throughout the week and kept us updated on how he was doing. We loved the photos and videos she sent. She made sure she was with him for most of the day and we really appreciated that. She was also responsible with his food and medicine. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you again Kristen for allowing us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about pup!
This was my first time having someone come to my home and sit our dogs while we were gone. I have two very anxious dogs, and after initial problems, my dogs eventually warmed up to their sitters. I appreciate their patience with Ava and Lucky very much and highly recommend their services.
Madalaina watched our three dogs (including 6-month-old puppy) while we were out of town for an extended weekend. She was very communicative regarding how they were doing and shared the cutest pictures! She took time to clarify expectations and planned arrival and departure. Additionally, she let us know when she was taking off and sincerely appreciate her excellent care of our home as well. Would highly recommend her services to others!
Once again, we were so fortunate that Jamie was available to stay with our dog, Pepper. I have left other reviews of how special, caring, dependable, and capable Jamie is, so anyone interested can scroll down to read those. This was a short getaway (3 nights), during which Jamie and Pep had lots of rain and thunderstorms, and our sweet dog is afraid of storms. Pep simply will not go out in situations like this, so Jamie had to get up with her during two of those nights and take her out. A few other times, Pep couldn’t hold it anymore and made a mess in the house,which is very unusual for her. All this to say, Jamie takes this type of thing in stride, and knows these situations are just going to happen sometimes with pets. Jamie is the greatest! We so appreciate her care of Pep!
Abby and Stephen were wonderful and took such great care of our two large dogs! We don’t often travel without our fur babies because we are a bit extra as pet parents and it can be hard to find people who can watch multiple dogs, but they kept us updated and they were so happy the whole time. Thank you for such wonderful peace of mind while we were away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Minerva Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Minerva Park on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,537 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minerva Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Minerva Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Minerva Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Minerva Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
